Multiple phase flow identification using computational simulation and convolutional neural network

The Identification of gas-solid flow characterization in dense-phase pneumatic conveying particles is very important to a vast area of industrial fields such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries since a slight change in flow characteristics results in a completely different product. The motion...

description The Identification of gas-solid flow characterization in dense-phase pneumatic conveying particles is very important to a vast area of industrial fields such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries since a slight change in flow characteristics results in a completely different product.
